Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is a Japanese-style third-person action slasher game. The game is an expanded version of the original Warriors Orochi 3, in which 2 new stories await you. There are also 8 new characters available, including Rachel, Seimei Abe, Momiji, Shennong (from the Wii U version), Xu Shu, Mae Tomamo, Sophitia (from the Soulcalibur series) and Sterkenburg Cranach (from the Atelier series).
Gameplay takes place in modified versions of stages taken primarily from Dynasty Warriors 7 or Samurai Warriors 3 (in addition, some downloadable content and story elements in Ultimate take place in stages taken from Warriors Orochi 2); the selected number of stages related to the story are new stages. Each of the new co-op characters (Ryu Hayabusa, Ayane, Joan of Arc, Nemea, Achilles, Rachel, Momiji, Kasumi, Sterkenburg and Sophitia) are also associated with a scene taken from either Dynasty Warriors 7 or Samurai Warriors 3. Most the stage music is taken from earlier Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors or Warriors Orochi; each of the collaboration's characters also comes with a unique theme.
